520 In this hugely entertaining sequel to the New York Times
bestselling memoir An Appetite for Wonder, Richard Dawkins
delves deeply into his intellectual life spent kick-
starting new conversations about science, culture, and
religion and writing yet another of the most audacious and
widely read books of the twentieth century-The God
Delusion. Called "one of the best nonfiction writers alive
today" (Stephen Pinker) and a "prize-fighter" (Nature),
Richard Dawkins cheerfully, mischievously, looks back on a
lifetime of tireless intellectual adventure and
engagement. Exploring the halls of intellectual inquiry
and stardom he encountered after the publication of his
seminal work, The Selfish Gene; affectionately lampooning
the world of academia, publishing, and television; and
studding the pages with funny stories about the great men
and women he's known, Dawkins offers a candid look at the
events and ideas that encouraged him to shift his
attention to the intersection of culture, religion, and
science. He also invites the reader to look more closely
at the brilliant succession of ten influential books that
grew naturally out of his busy life, highlighting the
ideas that connect them and excavating their origins. On
the publication of his tenth book, the smash hit, The God
Delusion, a "resounding trumpet blast for truth" (Matt
Ridley), Richard Dawkins was catapulted from mere
intellectual stardom into a circle of celebrity thinkers
dubbed, "The New Atheists"--Including Christopher Hitchens,
Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett. Throughout A Brief Candle
in the Dark, Dawkins shares with us his infectious sense
of wonder at the natural world, his enjoyment of the
absurdities of human interaction, and his bracing
awareness of life's brevity: all of which have made a deep
imprint on our culture.
520 Explores the influences of fame on the author's career,
shares memories about his intellectual peers, and
evaluates the events and ideas that have shaped his
beliefs.
